John T said: (quoted from post at 18:39:09 04/21/14) Is it possible for an older Receiver (mines a 625 with several years on it) to go bad and cause there to be a weak signal so I can buy month to month and shop around WITH NO LONG TERM CONTRACT

A simple answer: Yes! Resistors and capacitors can change values as they age, and electrolytic caps can leak. Or, solder connections can crack.
Since you've eliminated the coax, switch, LNBF, and alignment: Have you checked the DC voltage feeding to the LNBF? You should have either 13 VDC or 18 VDC measured between the center conductor and the shield. That voltage powers the LNBF and switches the LNBF polarity between LHCP and RHCP. The 625 is dual tuner, do both tuners have low signal? Have you connected the receiver and a TV outside at the dish?
You can pickup a replacement DVR-625 for $65 at solidsignal.com
I understand why you prefer owning rather than 'leasing' with a multi-year commitment.
